Pancakes with Blueberry Maple Syrup!

It seems I’ve come down with a cold. The nasty kind that lingers and zaps you of any energy. It’s no fun and I haven’t felt like doing any baking, needless to say. This morning though, I was craving pancakes. Pancakes are so easy, comforting and require so little effort, I just had to make them, despite feeling sick.

This recipe is one my mom has used for a while (honestly, she makes them better than I do!) and it’s so close to perfection. I love the fluffy, buttery golden pancakes with the bright, summery flavor of the blueberries. You really need that pop of sunshine in these cold winter months. A stack of these beauties topped with blueberry syrup and I’m already feeling better.

Also! Can I just sing the praises of White Lily flour? I’ve heard that old ladies swear by it, and I understand why. It makes the most perfect baked goods -especially pancakes and biscuits. If you can get your hands on some - buy it!

Heat about half a tablespoon of butter a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/3 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides, turning once. Top with homemade blueberry syrup and fresh blueberries!

My dad has made us blueberry pancakes for as long as I can remember, and I LOVE using blueberry syrup. I have never made it myself, tho. And rarely do I make pancakes from scratch, so these sound fabulous!

your pictures are stunning!! i totally love the egg shot :) thanks for the tip on not overwhisking the pancakes and oh i can't wait to try that blueberry maple syrup. never thought to flavour maple syrup. gotta try this! x

You are an awesome photographer, Hannah. And from Georgia too (me too)-I love it! Do you live on a farm? Just wondering due to the look of fresh eggs and rolling countryside in your photos...Stella (thewitchykitchen.blogspot.com/)

Oh my, that is one of the most beautiful pancake pictures I have ever seen. It makes me reconsider my choice of dinner even though it is almost done ...We've posted a flour free blueberry pancake recipe a while back. It's a good alternative to your pancakes if you have any gluten-free friends coming over.
